[aspirers]

Player Name and Pronouns: kimmie she/her
Contact: xdombillyx
Character(s): eloise aspirers | francesca sonatinas | michael malarial
A Fun Fact: i'm 36, i have a teeny mini me who is 5, i got into the regency era from my dad at age 10 when he and i went to a local college performance of pride and prejudice that jumpstarted his audhd hyperfixation on jane austen. and something a lot of people don't know is that regency women didn't wear underwear because they didn't want anything to be seen under the a-line dresses.
Wishlist:
eloise | i would love just more interaction in general. could be anywhere in the timeline, but i'm also down with some future s5-6 assumptions or any kind of aus. i never mind aus and i'm a shipper at heart
francesca | familial support post s4. i love fran/john. i'm a book lover at heart, but always happy to expand on what could be with fran and michaela with a chance to explore their relationship in written form
michael | down for whatever. he's a rake. he's from the books, but can squeeze him into the show, too. down for whatever if anyone wants him :3

Family shenanigans please. I really want Fran and Ben to discover that they're both bi. Finally something in common with a sibling!

Also, he will 100% be there for her post season 4.

[artoftheswoon]

I'm so excited to build John's voice with you. I can't wait to see their relationship really develop and Frannie can finally achieve her pinnacle. I also welcome Michael and John!

[selfeffacingly]

CRYING not that meme omg that's them 😭 so in love with our idiots

[nomdepen]

hiiiiiii

i think we have some plans :3

bex | lady whistledown

[nomdepen]

Player Name and Pronouns: Bex, she/her
Contact: bexxen | thexwoman @ discord
Character(s): Penelope Featherington/Bridgerton
A Fun Fact: I am in law school and currently writing a scholarly article on why alternate universe fanfiction is not copyright infringement under current IP law.
Wishlist: So I love trope-y romance writing, angst, and anything found family, so I'd love for Pen to develop friendships with everyone. Canon-ship wise, I really want to thread angsty pre-marraige stuff and happy marriage stuff with Colin. I'm also really happy to do AU ships, because Pen deserves all the love in the world (although probably not with any of the other Bridgerton boys cause that would still be awkward).

[venturesomecourse]

Found family please. Four sisters is not enough, clearly, he needs to add another one (or two).

[artoftheswoon]

I got a bunch of characters for Pen to love.

Lils | Daphne, Colin, John, Kate, Sophie

[artoftheswoon]

Player Name and Pronouns: Lils she/her
Contact: ladylils | | theartoftheswoon
Character(s): Since I am a madwoman: Daphne Bridgerton theartoftheswoon | Colin Bridgerton graphicpining | John Stirling needtonap | Kate Sharma malletofdeath | Sophie Baek theladyinsilver
A Fun Fact: Currently finishing my degree, published auth (school magazines, but it counts), angst machine, clearly a deranged fan girl
Wishlist: Everyone and Everything!!
Obligatory Extra Info:

[venturesomecourse]

I'm pretty sure you already know what I want. But all the big brother things, and also all the Simon-and-Daphne things.

Also Benedict is so glad to have found his lady in silver.

[selfeffacingly]

john!! something something we fix the show

[fireandwit]

Aside from Colin, I would love to do things with Kate and Daphne. Or really anything with you because I love getting tags from you.

[viscountbee]

See, this is what I meant.

I’m creeping on the mingle threads I’m not in. See this great John I guess I missed. Feel like I did see the journal name mentioned on some Plurk, but forget whose, and it’s DIABOLICAL btw. Come here to figure out who it is to tell them love their John and also love said utterly diabolical username and. It’s you.

Of course it is.

Katie | Benedict Bridgerton and Simon Basset

[venturesomecourse]

Player Name and Pronouns: Katie | she/her
Contact: siriuslydementd | this journal or Simon's at letsnotbehastings
Character(s): Right now I've got the spare and the duke. I've been contemplating adding Cressida and/or Hyacinth, but don't hold me to either of those.
A Fun Fact: I work in a library, though due to reasons beyond my control I'm currently looking for another job (which is NOT so fun). I like to read and do crochet, and I have this short story I would love to get published if I can ever manage to finish it (or submit it for publication, for that matter)...
Wishlist: for Simon: anyone, really. He's missed a lot by only being in one season, but it also means it's easy to stick him in someone else's timeline. So come talk to the duke!
For Benedict: family time. He likes being a big brother. (He's not such a fan of being a younger brother though. 🙄 ) I would love for someone to discover his attraction to men as well as women. I'd even be open to a flirtation with a man who is not related to him.
Obligatory Extra Info: Sorry, Eloise ;-)

[aspirers]

i love this moment. no apologies

[viscountbee]

Too bad. Because Benedict is his little brother and nobody else’s and that makes him special 😤

manda | kate & colin

[suspendtime]

Character(s): kate suspendtime, colin odyssian

[nomdepen]

*coughs casually*

[aspirers]

i will happily give you any of mine. i love kate being a mentor figure to el, but i'm up for anything

[venturesomecourse]

Benedict and Kate should plot some pranks to pull on Anthony. Just saying.

shari!

[propers]

Player Name and Pronouns: shari, she/her
Contact: trashmouth | pm me!
Character(s): anthony bridgerton ( propers ), francesca bridgerton ( ries ), simon basset ( cumplicated ), i did at one point have accounts for benedict and colin though i have no idea where they went to. would be interested in picking them back up some day!!!
A Fun Fact: i rped anthony at duplicity for a time and it was some of my favorite rp that i've ever gotten to do 🥰 i'm really taking this as incentive to rewatch bridgerton and get back on the rp horse with all them
Wishlist: i love ships and writing shippy stuff 😔 i love aus and drama — i'm always willing to rp any of these boys messing up extremely badly and having to crawl back into good graces with their gorgis gorgis women, that's like probably my favorite thing to rp. anything and everything tho!!!! doesn't have to be shippy, i love family stuff too and being an annoying big brother to all my annoying little siblings
Obligatory Extra Info:

respectfully sniffs u <3

[aspirers]

umm i want to throw all my people at you. i will never not cherish the condoms that anthony kept trying to sneak into el's handbangs~

Bri | Sophie, Kate (and maybe Fran, Edwina, Hyacinth?)

[insilver]

Player Name and Pronouns: Bri, she/her
Contact: ThriceWiddershins
Character(s): So far I have Sophie here, and Kate Sharma/Bridgerton (@ eternallyvexing), plus possibly Frannie once I come up with a username I like. Maybe Edwina? Hyacinth? Or some other super minor character because I do have a type lol. And honestly, I will AU anyone and everyone into Bridgerton, as well as AU my Bridgerton ladies into other canons/AUs. (Bridgerton but make it fantasy well, more fantasy? Hell yes! Bridgerton IN SPACE? ABSOLUTELY.)
A Fun Fact: UM IDEK. I semi-regularly work in a haunted house and scaring the everloving shit out of people is AMAZING and DELIGHTFUL and I love it. I’m a huge fan of AUs, and a huge fan of minor character who usually deserve better. And original characters. (Also I am very easily enabled.)
Wishlist: EVERYTHING. In general, just shenanigans with everybody. And ALL THE AUs ALWAYS. Into Bridgerton, from Bridgerton into other canons. The world is our oyster. (I am, however, also slow when it comes to tagspeed but I will backtag until the heatdeath of the universe.)
Sophie: Ben and Sophie and all the moments in between and after their season, family time with Sophie and the other Bridgerton siblings. Her getting used to being a part of the Ton rather than a maid. Her continuing to learn how to have fun.
Kate: Kate, and Anthony and all the moments in between and after their season and all the moments they SHOULD have been there in other seasons because we and they deserved better, damn it. A Mummy AU with Kate and Anthony because that would just be TOO PERFECT.
Obligatory Extra Info:

[venturesomecourse]

Benedict volunteers to teach Sophie how to have fun. Of all sorts.

el — fran, daph, (maybe sophie)

[selfeffacingly]

Player Name and Pronouns: el, she/they
Contact: pomegranates | empirewaist @ discord
Character(s): in my pocket i have daphne
marriageable, frannie selfeffacingly, and a sophie silverdress in the wings if i end up ever voicetesting her. i played the first two at duplicity, daph in '22 and fran '25 respectively.
A Fun Fact: i'm a big horror girlie and i'm currently in the puppy trenches
Wishlist: ALL the love for au's, missing scenes, marrying book canon to the show, crosscanon shipping, etc. i want to take daph or fran back to a game soon but not sure when or where. i'm a shipper at heart and also a fan of some bridgercest i mean whaaat but down for some good ole gen and family shenanigans.
more specifically, i love letting daphne be her social butterfly self because she can charm the pants off anyone and i miss playing her so dearly. fran i am always looking for more michael stuff these days, but very pleased with john and michaela with the caveat i do largely play her as a bi woman
Obligatory Extra Info:

[venturesomecourse]

Um hello. Someone here would enjoy getting to help voicetest Sophie.

And also Simon (letsnotbehastings) would like Daphne to teach him more about being a family man.

Elle ❁ Anthony & Charlotte

[viscountbee]

Player Name and Pronouns: Elle she/her/they
Contact: ilovesatellites | ellevations @ discord
Character(s): Anthony Bridgerton (viscountbee) and HRH Queen Charlotte (venusonearth)
A Fun Fact: These about me sections are always hard. Does anyone want to know I’m a hobbyist mechanic or that I collect antique glass communication line insulators? It feels unlikely. Anyways, I keep absolutely bonkers hours thanks to transcontinental and international clients so never feel pressured to boomerang or, alternatively, think I lost interest after a few days elapsed. I welcome touch base checks any time you won’t bother me x Also worth mentioning I have a severe disability with my hands so I end up sending tags half done accidentally or clocking a hideous confusing typo after I sent. Those edited posts are never a nudge they’re just a tick I give in to - if it gets annoying let me know!
Fun fact: Oscar the Grouch is orange. The green color is like how sloths have a biome grown on them.

Wishlist: I’ve spent so many characters being a LCW or having like one super distant castmate kicking around. So my wishlist is both intensely long but also felt kind of not worth writing because it wouldn’t happen. Oops all wrong! So I’ll keep it concise (lol)

Charlotte
I’m keeping Lottie younger but also timey-wimey so she can interact with everyone heh. She’s super, super new to me and I’m still feeling her voice out? But any and all things with all Georges. I’d love some stiff weirdness with folks and I have her and Brimsley be… the way that they are?

Anthony
This list is easier but also pretty ship centric after the first few…
- ALL family and found family folks desire - especially his being able to better be both a father figure and brother since. yeah he sucked at that for a while despite being well meaning
- Bonding with Eloise because they’re terrifyingly similar. In the books she’s an insane shot and I’d love for her to pick up where Edmund left off teaching Anthony shooting.
- His (and handwaving the Viscount’s family in tow) first trip to Scotland. If he’s been canonically it would’ve been when he was a kid and his dad was alive so. Oof.

Anthony/Kate Dream Threads
- his actual proposal because yes he’s going to course correct even more
- the first time Kate calls him Anthony after that nightmare morning horseride and where she said his name begging him to marry her freaking sister
- first morning(s) after the wedding because Anthony is terrified Kate will coyote ugly him again
- eventually doing a mingle here (with admin permission) that’s their wedding, if I could pick a Kate’s brain to see what they think it went like

Anthony Bridgerton why are you so weird says the sibling who's unlike all the other siblings.

Anthony and Benedict have all kinds of things they could talk about. Also Anthony and Simon, since they were friends at Eton.

Gigi | George, Penelope and Kate

[fireandwit]

Player Name and Pronouns: Gigi; she/her
Contact: nothlir | nothlir @ discord
Character(s): King George farmergeorge, Penelope armedreverie, Kate fireandwit
A Fun Fact: I got into Bridgerton because of Kimmie and Lils at Duplicity and the first journal I made was for George. Because, excuse you, he should not be that hot.
Wishlist: I want all the CR, truly, because all of the characters are wonderful

Hello Your Majesty. ;-)
